BIO From ALLMUSIC GUIDE:

Former frontman for the Replacements-inspired Solid Goldsteins, Brady Harris' solo career has diverged from his previous work into a sound altogether more indicative of his Texas roots. Bearing considerable vocal resemblance to John Lennon, Harris crafts moody country-rock with a hard pop edge. Strongly melodic with a confident wit, he combines well-traveled themes with stoic romanticism. Having paid his dues as a starving artist, busking on the streets of Paris and London, Harris found himself in Los Angeles recording one album with his former bandmates before releasing his solo debut in 1997. That album, Next Door to Nowhere, received favorable reviews and was followed by considerable media attention at 1999's NXNW music conference. 1999's Good Luck Stranger was met with near unanimous critical approval, and Harris went on to tour Europe in late 2000. He spent the next two years touring the states where he racked up numerous awards, including $5,000 from the Pontiac Vibe Car Commercial Contest, which helped him finance 2003's highly anticipated Lone Star. —Matt Fink, All Music Guide (www.allmusic.com)

PRESS SAMPLES:

* * * * *
The Texas-bred, Los Angeles based Harris goes on a highly-rewarding musical trip through Beatlesesque pop-rock and singer-songwriter intimacy. –Michael Berick, NO DEPRESSION MAGAZINE

* * * * *
Roots-rock Americana with the vibrant, crackling pop of Revolver-era Beatles. -George Zahora, SPLENDID

* * * * *
Harris' substantial talents lift him well above those with whom he will be categorized. -Matt Fink, ALL MUSIC GUIDE

* * * * *
More evidence that it's what's lurking beneath the radar that's really important, Brady Harris - following the familiar career trajectory of starving busker (in London and Paris), accidental recordings, critical acclaim (not the least of which came at the NxNW conference in '99) impressive underground success ($5000 from MP3.com) and still no major label deal - has just released his third album, recorded at home with the assistance of a $500 Shure microphone he won for his roots-grass version of Motorhead's 'Ace Of Spades'. Intrigued? Good, for mere words can never do him justice. Ignore, then, the fact that Harris' voice bears comparisons with John Lennon; ignore the fact that he creates a beguiling brand of alt. power country pop, something like Peter Bruntnell massaging Big Star; ignore the fact that Harris can take on Joe Pernice in his own back yard and win. Ignore these words, let your ears do the judging, and you're left wondering where this California-dwelling Texan has been hiding all your life. -Michael Ornadet, LOGO-MAGAZINE (UK)

* * * * *
One of the strongest roots-pop releases we've heard not only in 2003 but in the last few years. -NOT LAME RECORDS

Track Name: Floating
I'm catching what's floating by
Waiting for friends to get high
Yeah, they're on the wrong track
We know it's a known fact
You tell it to me everyday
But I never listen to a word you say

I'm watching the ships roll by
Wiping this tear from my eye
Cos they're on the wrong tack
They're gonna be blown
They're sounding warnings everyday
But they never listen to a word I say

Longing dreams they see me when I sleep
Fallen dreams will keep you thinking
When you ought to be sleeping

I'm watching these trucks roll by
Waiving my thumb for a ride
But they're on their way now
They won't even slow down
They treat me like I'm something obscene
Well they'll never get to hear a word from me
Track Name: Sailing On A River
Sailing on a river you get nowhere til you're gone
I believe in rock and roll and it's taken its toll well I know
Tell me no lies
I see if we ain't through
You know I can't believe in you anymore

You and me were side by side
In the days of our last twilight
You and me were side by side
In the days of our last twilight

Sailing on a river you get nowhere til you're gone
People come and go but it's good to know
There's a song
When you're gone
I can feel the whole thing come undone

Used to be if we'd lose sight
The night would lead us to the light
You and me were side by side
In the days of our last twilight

Sailing on a river you get nowhere til you're gone
When you're gone
I can feel my whole world come undone

Sailing on a river you get nowhere til you're gone
Track Name: Little Miss Mourning
Little Miss Mourning cries
Everytime we say goodbye
She leaves without warning though
Everybody knows to where she goes

Little Miss Mourning says
That true love never ends
She writes it in her stories though
Everybody knows the way it goes

They're gonna miss you
Like the stars buried in your eyes
And it will continue
Til their souls do rise

Little Miss Mourning's gone
Onto the great beyond
She telegraphs her stories home
Though everybody knows who they are from

Little Miss Mourning cries
Everytime we say goodbye
Track Name: Stars Shine Bright
Even now and even now and even now
I see that you were meant for me

Every night and every night and every night
I find that love will conquer time

Stars shine bright
Every day and night
Stars shine bright for you
The moon still glows
Everybody knows
The moon still glows for you

Like a rivers child
You keep flowing all the while
Til the lights beyond do set you free
I believe in you
It’s true
I believe in you

All the while and all the while and all the while
We see your love will carry me

Stars shine bright
Every day and night
Stars shine bright for you
The moon still glows
Everybody knows
It still glows for you
Track Name: Mersey Waltz (Sing A Sad Song)
You and I were meant to be
She told me
Don't look back cos you will see
The things you say you saw
Were never there at all

Trip the light that shines on me
Til you'd leave
All this time we could not find
The love we used to share
Seemed to go nowhere, nowhere

And I wanna know where you're going
And I wanna know who you're turning to
Yeah, I do

So sing a sad song
If you're love is gone
Sing a sad song
Sing a sad song

All this time we could not find
The love we used to share
Seemed to go nowhere, nowhere

And I wanna know where you're going
And I wanna know who you're turning to
Yeah, we do

So sing a sad song
If you're love is gone
Sing a sad song
Sing a sad song
Track Name: Drunk In The House
Thought about going out
Think I'll stay in and get drunk in the house
Wanted to be out with you
You know I'll miss you
But you'll miss me too
If you see me in your dreams

Sing me a song tonight
When you're out there under those lights
Sing it strong
Sing it loud
I can hear those chords going round, round, round

If you're singing won't you sing for me
And when you're drinking have a drink on me

Thought about going out
Think I'll stay in and get drunk in the house
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Don't you wonder
Just let them go
You know I hope to see ya
After the show

Sing me a song tonight
When you're out there under those lights
Sing it strong
Sing it proud
You know I hear your voice going round, round, round

If you're singing won't you sing for me
And if you're drinking well have a drink on me

Thought about going out
Think I'll stay in and get drunk in the house
Wanted to be out with you
You know I'll miss you
Don't ya miss me too
Don't ya miss me
Don't ya miss me too
Track Name: Slipping By
Where do all the good times go
Lost in all this rock and roll
Where will you be when I sleep tonight
Who do you see when you dream
Stay with me awhile
What you don't see you'll never know

Cos you go up and leave
When you want me to stay
But you leave
Turn away
I get lost in your way
I know you're going away
Could you stay for today

Cos the hours are slipping by
They come to you unawares like a landslide
The days don't seem to last
One follows the other quickly becoming the past

Where do all the good times go
Like Ray sang so long ago
Well you know what they say
You won't know till you know
Won't know til you go
Till you leave
Slip away
But I'm not happy this way
Cos I want you to stay
Can you hear what I say
Just don't leave me today

I wanna see will you be on my mind
Many years from now on the line

Because the hours are slipping by
They come to you unawares like a landslide
The days don't seem to last
One follows the other quickly becoming the past
Track Name: Everywhere I Go
Everywhere I go people
That you and me were meant to be
Track Name: That's All I Need
That's all I need
When the day is done
I turn to one
Tells me everything's okay
Every night and day

That's all I feel
When I turn to you
A light shines through
Takes me everywhere I go
To everyone I know
Everywhere I go
It's everything you show

When I feel so sad
When I feel so bad
I know nothing can bring me down
Nothing can bring me down today

Cos that's all I need
That's all I need

I'll be there beside you
If everything falls again
Like those footprints in the sand
I'll be carrying you back home, my friend
Cos that's all I need

That's all I see
When I think of you
The things you do
Stay with me everywhere I go
Every night it shows
Everywhere we go
Every time I know

When I feel so sad
When I feel so bad
I know nothing can bring
Nothing can bring me down
Nothing can bring me down today

That's all I need
Track Name: Picture
Well I've got a picture of you and me
Finer couple you could never meet
We're in love that's for sure
We're in love forevermore

Well I've got a picture of you and me
With the same old people we used to see
I know a thing or two about
Love lost now that was once avowed
In love never in doubt
We're in love can't live without

Cos what's for sure is what's never in doubt
And the people all seem to shout
They're in love it's true
I'll always be in love with you

Cos what's for sure is what's never in doubt
And the people all scream and shout
They're in love it's true
That I'll always be in love with you

I've got a picture of you and me
We're the same old people we used to be
We're in love that's for sure
We're in love forevermore
Track Name: Just Another Luv Song
Everything sounds the same
It's just another love song with the same refrain
Everyone knows the words
It's the melancholy tune with the heartsick verse

You don't have to ask me
And I won't need to tell
I can see in your eyes
That we're not doing well
You won't have to say to me
Things I want to hear
Tell me no lies
Dry your pretty little eyes

Cos every song sounds the same
It's another one sung with the sad refrain
Every heart breaks the same
When the one you love's gone and you can't hold on

Tell me no lies
Dry your pretty little eyes
Cos I'll be there for you
If you should ever cry
Oh, why
Oh, why

Every note plays the same
It's just another love song with the wicked refrain
And everyone knows the words
It's the counterfeit tune with the tear-stained verse
